Miracle
of miracles – we’ve finished the wall panels!
I applied two coats of Jasmine White paint quickly with a small sponge
roller and I mean quick as this Dulux Quick-dry paint doesn’t take long to go
off.

I
thought of my brother and his MDF spray painting as using a roller does leave
that slight stipple finish but I’ll take that over visible brush strokes. You can only really notice the stippling if
you get up close to the panels.
The
overall visual effect from the bottom of the stairs is superb and I’m glad I
decided to paint the panels white in the end as this has helped to symmetrically
balance them against the white painted stair spindles. It might have looked a little odd with one
side painted beige and the other white.

| Almost done |
So
our staircase transformation project is almost at an end. There are only the risers left to paint white
and a second coat of yacht varnish to apply to the stained wood but that will
now have to wait until summer time.

| After - beautiful Art Deco look hallway |
With
a bit of imagination, a lot of hard work and infinite patience, you too can
give your house a Hollywood makeover and live in a posh gaff.
